What term would you use for a 'chinese warrior class'? The Japanese had the Samurai and the Europians had the knight. What would be the Chinese equivalent of these classes?

Swordsmen were not. The correct one was: xia (or xia ke, daxia).
"Anything you can't say NO to is your MASTER, and you are its SLAVE."
"I disapprove of what I say, but I will defend to the death my right to say it."
I don't think xia is a warrior class.. I don't think we have any long-lasting warrior class. Chinese culture values Wen/Civil over Wu/Martial unfortunately.
